I have absolutely zero luck with pork in the crock pot, there I said it. Phew. I try recipes over and over again, either I over cook or under cook or I grab the wrong cut and it just never seems to work out. This may sound strange, but it's the truth. I am also super bad at following directions, so this may be part of it. This was the reason why I need something that required the least amount of instruction to equal the best results.
The recipe for this came as a bit of a fluke. I picked up a pork shoulder roast for a good deal at the store and had no clue what I was going to do with it, but had to buy it. When I went to prepare it, I literally grabbed a few of my favorite herbs, tossed them on top of the roast, turned the crock pot on low, and walked away. What came out was perfection! I love it when that works out. And best of all, this is completely approved by my non-paleo hubby, so you know it's a hit!
Super Easy Pork Shoulder Roast
Ingredients
- 3-5 lb pork shoulder roast
- 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons each of the following: oregano, thyme, marjoram, basil, and rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
Instruction
- Place pork shoulder roast in slow cooker. If it is wrapped in kitchen netting, you can leave it on.
- Rub garlic over the top of roast. Mix herbs together and sprinkle over the top of the roast.
- Set slow cooker on low and cook for 9-10 hrs or until roast reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove roast and set on cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 mins. This would be a good time to make your sides, like the Caramelized Fennel and Sweet Potato Sauté
- Slice, serve, drool, and enjoy!
